You should Google up and see how common this problem really is. My example, I am a consultant. But I do have domain accounts in companies I consult. The OS that came with the machine (windows 7 home) had to be written over since it won't let me log in.

The point being, it's such an artificial restriction. Most PCs are laptops, and this really restricts mobility.

For clarity, are you talking about joining your laptop to the domain, or merely logging into domain accounts using a non-domain-joined laptop?

A remote desktop session into the my employer's network from guest wifi works fine within their building. My laptop running the rdp client is faster than the thin client they issued me with!

I think a consultant using their machine for work purposes can fork out for Windows Pro instead of using Home edition...
